He lives by the rule:” Or qualitative work or nothing”.

(Update: He made it) Spider-Man is overreacting every time when he finds a bug. Every mistake, grammatical error or critical bug, perceives equally emotional.
It’s very characteristic of him to tell the story of “How I found a bug” in a thriller way. Developers are trying to communicate with him only by email and only about tasks.
